Earlier this summer CDS launched its new website, where you can network with colleagues, earn CE online and find out more about CDS programs and events. Some of the most popular pages currently include:

· CDS Calendar
· Branches 
· Classified ads
· Online CE 

The first time you visit the site, you'll want to register to gain access to members-only information. You'll need a unique email address and your CDS member number to register.

"I extracted a bunch of teeth on a bunch of patients who would still be in pain if I was still on the couch. If I didn't do it, it wouldn't have been done." Read about CDS member Dr. Marc Wasserman's experience volunteering at CURE Network/RAM dental treatment event. 

It's not too soon to start thinking about the Midwinter Meeting! CDS needs room and presiding chairs. Find out more at our website. 

The Northwest Community Hospital Mobile Dental Clinic is reaching out to fellow dentists, hygienists, and specialists to volunteer by providing direct patient care in our clinic. You can also help by accepting referrals for patients who require dental work beyond the clinic's scope of service. Please contact Dr. Ahmed El-Maghraby for more information. 

Tickets to the Tony Award-winning show Memphis are still available to CDS members. Get yours today.

If you haven't visited our Facebook page lately, we've got lots of photos of CDS members in action!
